you can buy from a Dodge dealership, it’s no longer the most powerful muscle car to wear this devilish badge. This is where the Hellcat X comes in, a bespoke Challenger that took Dodge’s meanest muscle car up yet another notch. The muscle car is also a tribute to an experimental aircraft prototype built in the 1940s. Based on the iconic F6F Hellcat that ruled the skies in the later stages of World War II, it was dubbed XF6F and introduced supercharger and turbocharger... It was more powerful and faster than the standard 2,000-horsepower fighter it was based on, which is pretty much what the Challenger Hellcat X is in relation to the stock Hellcat. Though it may seem identical to a standard Hellcat, the Hellcat X does include a range of extra features upon closer inspection.

This is our official buildup vehicle for Ultimate Adventure... In the past we have built new vehicles and old vehicles for the UA, but this is an all-new old vehicle. It is starting as a newer Jeep frame and a built-from-scratch Aqualu aluminum Jeep tub. To motivate the little Jeep, we stole parts from other project vehicles we have had in the stable and stuffed them all together to make a pretty wacky machine. The engine is the Chevy Performance LSA supercharged 6. 2L V-8 we had in the Alabama Army Truck. That truck was getting a transmission swap, but when we hit a few speed bumps we decided to rethink the project and the little Jeep seemed like a better home for the 550 hp. The two Spidertrax axles in the background are from our double-ended Jeep... Source: www.fourwheeler.com
